Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has called on Real Madrid president Florentino Perez for recruitment as the Portuguese manager aims to sign Eder Militao.

Militao has struggled for game time under Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane as Mourinho is ready to offer him an escape route out Santiago Bernabeu.

Spurs have been in search of centre back with n Vertonghen seemingly nearing the end of his stay in north London.

Mourinho is not full convince in the ability of Davinson Sanchez and he is keen on adding bringing the Real Madrid bench warmer to Tottenham Stadium.

Militao was previously linked with a move to Manchester United, the Brazilian has found it difficult to break the partnership between Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos and Zidane is insisting that the player is sold for no less than £70million.

Tottenham is confident that they can get their target and believe that Real Madrid will reduce their asking price as they continue to monitor the situation of the Brazilian at the Santiago Bernabeu.
